I am quite fascinated by the mandau designs and wish to collect them. What clues gave away the age to you - aside from the corrosion/patina or lack-there-of on the blade? All input is welcome - thank you!

 It seems that I have overseen your question. I am far away to be an expert for mandaus but think that I can read patina. This piece lacking patination. For good mandaus do a little bit search here with the keywords "mandau" and "Dayak".
Best regards,
